BEST WESTERN Lee Wood Hotel.

Perfectly placed in the Peak District.

The BEST WESTERN Lee Wood Hotel lies in Buxton, right at the heart of the Peak District National Park. In its own grounds, the hotel is the perfect base for a walking holiday, but equally appealing as a place to stay for those who want to explore the historic attractions and places of interest of Buxton Spa itself. Buxton Opera House is particularly attractive - built by Matcham in 1903, its a worthy focal point for a Buxton-based theatre break!

As a guest at the family-run Best Western Lee Wood Hotel, you'll be within touching distance of the Derbyshire Dales, a stones throw from Castleton and its fabulous caves, and even closer to an award-winning restaurant The Elements Restaurant within the hotel itself!

One of the best Best Westerns

Stayed for a one night stop-over while travelling south, booked on the advice of Trip Advisor reviewers. I find Best Western;s can be hit or miss, certainly a hit with this one and would certainly stay again. A very nice entrance hall, wide staircase and creaky floorboards as befits an Edwardian period hotel. Room was a good size with complimentary bottle of still water, you can guess which, a couple of easy chairs and double bed, very clean and tidy although my other half thought the bed a little hard, I slept like a log, maybe the wine helped. Decent size en-suite, our shower was in the bath not a separate cubicle but fully functional. I know I could have asked for more however I would have thought that with two people staying in a room two shower gels would have been provided, but no big deal. Staff were very friendly, smartly turned out helpful throughout the hotel, we had our evening meal in the conservatory restaurant and could not fault it at all, food was really nice and staff very attentive. Breakfast was also very good and cooked for you, none of the buffet help yourself nonsense, if you like runny yolks in poached eggs then ask for soft poached. There is a bar but they had no draught beer while I was there only lager, we did not have a drink in the bar so not sure how atmospheric the place was. A large TV screen was in one corner so maybe the odd footie match is shown. The hotel is in a quite residential area up a hill so if you have difficulty walking distances it may not be for you, very little noise and probably nice grounds when the flowers are out, beer garden for when the sun is out. The town centre is a 10 minute stroll away on the quite road and leafy avenue.There is enough to see close by or in town, for instance the Opera House and Pavilion, also a nice park to wander around with outdoor fitness equipment.....no I didn't try, it looked like hard work, there is a small train track so I assume it is active in season but Thomas was tucked away in hibernation.less

Booked an overnight stay at this hotel last year to stay in November unfortunately due to a family bereveavement we had to cancel, the hotel was very kind to let us move our stay to the end of March, we were on a winter warmer deal, very reasonable at approx £50 each, which included bed, breakfast and two course dinner with a glass of wine. The hotel had a nice feel, like a large Victorian house which was spacious downstairs, with a nice lounge/bar and a very large conservatory where we dined. The food was very good, plentiful, hot and well cooked, the staff where mainly young, but very friendly and professional. Our room was spacious with a double aspect which provided plenty of light in the room, everywhere was spotlessly clean and the room was nice a warm and the quality of the towels and linen was lovely ! A few small niggles which is why the rating is not 5- when we arrived the car park/parking area was full and we could not park there, and the road by the park was also full so we had to park by the pavilion, after a few hours we found a space (but only one available).. we had to ask for extra towels, glass and cup because the room was set up just for two people, but saying that after asking it was only a few minutes before a young man supplied us with those items. The park and pavilion is worth a visit and the area is lovely, would certainly stay at this hotel again in the future if staying in the area.less

Excellent!

I wasn't expecting anything special here - Best Westerns can be dull and lack character - but not this place!
From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly, helpful, smiling staff. The ground floor had a real sense of space and yet still felt warm and welcoming. Good seating area in the bar and a very spacious conservatory for dining.
However, what really impressed me was the bedroom. Plenty of space (but not so big as to feel cold), scrupulously clean, modern furnishings, and a very luxurious bathroom with a fine array of complimentary toiletries! Constant hot water and a powerful shower.
The only minor issue with the room, and it it really is minor, was the TV was positioned a little too far from the bed (on the far wall) so it was difficult to see on-screen details when I was watching MoTD!
Minor issue with the hotel in general was unreliable wifi. Thankfully it was free, as I wouldn't have been impressed if I'd had to pay for it, but when it worked it worked fine.
Didn't eat dinner here but did have breakfast which was served to order and was delicious.
Plenty of parking outside, rural surroundings and yet just a 10 min walk in to town.
Wouldn't hesitate to book here again.less

My girlfriend arranged this for a Saturday stopover as we were booked to see a concert at the Opera House and this hotel seemed to fit the bill as it's quite central to the main Buxton attractions. The hotel retains a certain charm from a bygone era (as do most of the buildings in Buxton) however with a feel of recent renovation to the rooms, giving for very clean and spacious accommodation. The staff appeared very professional and polite and the breakfast was more than ample with plenty of choice from the cooked English menu. The Opera house is only 5 minutes walk down the hill into the town with some better pubs and bars on High street a further 5 minutes walk beyond. All in all, I thoroughly recommend this hotel as it makes for an ideal base to enjoy Buxton at a reasonable cost for bed and breakfast.less
